The power to make home theater performance as entertaining as you want. Introducing the Pioneer VSX-1022-K Audio Video Receiver.

Elegance overshadowed only by technological excellence, the Pioneer VSX-1022-K delivers stellar home theater performance. With 560 watts of clear audio reproduction, the VSX-1022-K gives you connectivity options for your latest high-definition home theater components, and digital 1080p video from any source.

As connected to mobile devices as you are.

The VSX-1022-K is ready to bring you entertainment from new sources such as smartphones, tablets, PCs, select Android™ devices and thumb drives. It is also another reflection of how Pioneer was a leader in embracing the Apple® experience. Specifically designed to be compatible with iPod®, iPhone®, and iPad® devices, your receiver comes with a front panel USB port and USB/video cable to access all your music, videos, streaming content, and photos on Apple devices without buying a separate dock. And new for 2012, the USB port has been upgraded to handle uncompressed 192Khz/24-bit FLAC music files for true audiophile level performance.

Plus, since your iPhone, iPod and iPad charge automatically when connected, it's the ultimate plug-and-play integration with your home theater. Enjoy music with iTunes® album art, share videos and movies, downloaded TV shows from iTunes, photos, web content from YouTube® and much more. Got a call? Your iPhone mutes when you receive it. When it comes to control, use the Apple device directly or push a single button on the VSX-1022-K's front panel to switch control to the included preset remote and intuitive on-screen menu.

AirPlay®

With AirPlay, stream music from iTunes to the VSX-1022-K and play it through your home theater system without docks or cables. Simply connect the receiver to your home network via Ethernet, and it instantly becomes the hub for playback of your iTunes music from your connected Apple device or networked computer.

You can stream your music straight from your PC or Mac®, iPhone, iPad or iPod touch® to the VSX-1022-K at the touch of a button. Listen to your favorite song in your car using your iPhone, leave your car mid song and walk into your home. Using the AirPlay icon on your iPhone, select the VSX-1022-K. When you do, it’ll power up automatically and continue your favorite song right where you left off.

You can even view song title, artist, track time as well as album art on an HDMI connected TV. With AirPlay, just because your iTunes music is on your computer doesn’t mean it has to stay there.

HTC ConnectTM

HTC Connect™ is for Android® owners who, until now, have constantly asked, “What about me?” The good news is your receiver has arrived. A Pioneer exclusive, the VSX-1022-K proudly supports HTC Connect, compatible with HTC One series phones. HTC Connect makes it easy to wirelessly stream your favorite music straight from your HTC One phone. There’s no need for a separate app; HTC Connect is built right into your phone’s music player.UPDATE: HTC Connect Firmware Now Available for Download

Ultimate Sound Control

With 7 channel power, the audio experience has never been clearer or more realistically reproduced. The VSX-1022-K supports formats like Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD® Master Audio to give your Blu-ray Disc™ soundtracks unsurpassed audio quality. Pioneer also includes all of the Dolby and DTS surround formats, including the newest Dolby Pro Logic® IIz height channel.

The VSX-1022-K also features Pioneer's exclusive Auto Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration system (MCACC). Using measurements from every speaker’s connection, noting size and distance from the listening point as well as sound levels and timbre, it gives you a calibrated and customized multi-channel listening experience.

Filling in areas where minute details were left out during the compression process, even compressed audio like WMA, MP3 and AAC is enhanced with another Pioneer exclusive, Advanced Sound Retriever.

Versatile Speaker Configuration

With 7 channels of amplification, and 9 channels of speaker connection, the VSX-1022-K lets you decide the speaker set-up you want. Go with a conventional 7.1 surround sound system with surround back speakers, or try a front height experience. Or go with a 7.1 system in the living room and assign amplification to a set of B speakers in another room for dedicated music listening.
